VPX interface expansion card VX3406-RC3-0000

PCIeEthernetindustrial

Product Overview: The Kontron VX3406 is a high-performance 3U VPX Ethernet expansion card engineered for real-time, high-reliability, and data-intensive applications in harsh environments. Equipped with six independent 1G/2.5G Ethernet ports, it provides exceptional flexibility and bandwidth for mission-critical systems across defense, aerospace, transportation, and industrial sectors. Featuring support for Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) and IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP), the VX3406 ensures accurate and deterministic communication between connected devices. It integrates a powerful 8-lane PCIe Gen3 switch, supports up to four Intel i225 and two Intel i210 Ethernet controllers, and delivers consistent low-latency performance. The VX3406 is available in a rugged conduction-cooled version for extended temperature operations and optionally in an air-cooled variant. Industrial-grade Harting ix connectors, compliant with IEC 61076 standards, offer enhanced EMC protection and mechanical durability. For streamlined integration and simplified maintenance, an optional Rear Transition Module (RTM) brings all six Ethernet ports to the rear panel. - Six independent 1G/2.5G Ethernet ports, ideal for high-bandwidth and real-time communication - TSN and IEEE 1588 PTP support for precise time synchronization - Integrated 8-port PCIe Gen3 switch for optimized data flow and scalability - Conduction-cooled rugged design (-40°C to +70°C) for deployment in extreme conditions - Optional Rear Transition Module (RTM) to simplify cabling and testing in VPX systems - Long lifecycle availability (up to 10 years) for secure system sustainability Key Features / Technical Specifications: - Form Factor: 3U VPX Ethernet Card - Ethernet Ports: 6 x 1G/2.5G (independent) - Switch: Integrated 8-port PCIe Gen3 - TSN & IEEE 1588 PTP: Supported - Ethernet Controllers: Up to 4x Intel i225, 2x Intel i210 - Operating Temperature: -40°C to +70°C (conduction-cooled) - Cooling Options: Conduction-cooled (rugged), air-cooled (optional) - Connectors: Harting ix, IEC 61076 compliant - Optional RTM: Yes, for rear panel Ethernet access - Lifecycle: Up to 10 years availability - Target Applications: Defense, aerospace, transportation, industrial
